Your Shot at the Charles Schwab Challenge: The 1611 VIP Experience + $10,000
On May 22nd at 5:00 PM, all three 1611 locations tee it up simultaneously on the same course — TPC Craig Ranch, home of the CJ Cup Byron Nelson. This is a single-night individual stroke play competition played on Trackman, with net scoring applied via your Trackman handicap.
The best net score across the entire field — Fort Worth, Burleson, and North Richland Hills combined — wins the grand prize: a full VIP package to the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club the very next week. One of the most coveted experiences in DFW golf, handed to the sharpest stick in the building.
Register early. First 20 entries lock in the $100 rate and get automatically entered into the hole-in-one contest for a chance to win $10,000. Field is capped at 75 players total.

FAQ
What exactly is Road to Colonial?
It's a one-night competitive golf event hosted simultaneously across all three 1611 locations on May 22nd at 5:00 PM. Players compete in an 18-hole individual stroke play round on TPC Craig Ranch via Trackman, with net scoring. The best net score across all 75 players wins a full VIP package to the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club the following week.
What's included in the Charles Schwab Challenge VIP package?
Two full VIP tickets, all-inclusive food and drinks (full bar with liquor, beer, wine), access to four on-course viewing villages, VIP entrance through the Poolside Plaza presented by Bank of Texas, daily lunch and snacks, indoor and outdoor covered seating, and Gold Clubhouse Parking. The full experience — nothing out of pocket once you arrive.
What does the $10,000 hole-in-one contest involve?
The first 20 players to register are automatically entered. During your 18-hole round on May 22nd, make a hole-in-one and win $10,000. No additional cost, no separate sign-up. All you have to do is be one of the first 20 to register.
How does net scoring work?
Net scoring applies your Trackman handicap to your gross score. If you're a 10 handicap and shoot an 82, your net score is 72. This levels the playing field across all skill levels — you don't need to be a scratch golfer to win.
Do I need to have a Trackman handicap?
Yes — net scoring requires a Trackman handicap. If you don't have one established, stop by any 1611 location before May 22nd and our team will help you get set up. Don't wait until the night of the event.
Can I play at any of the three locations?
Yes. You can register and play at whichever 1611 location works best for you — Fort Worth, Burleson, or North Richland Hills. All three locations compete on the same leaderboard. Location doesn't affect your standing.
What if the field fills up before I register?
Registration closes once we hit 75 players. There's no waitlist and no extensions. Once the field is full, it's full. Register early to guarantee your spot — and to lock in the lower entry rate and hole-in-one contest eligibility.
Do I need to be a 1611 member to enter?
No — Road to Colonial is open to all players, members and non-members alike. You'll still need to book a bay at your chosen location for the night of May 22nd to play your round. Bay booking is separate from event registration.
